Section 25211.4 Of Article 10.1. Management Of Hazardous Wastes Removed From Discarded Appliances From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 20. >> Chapter 6.5. >> Article 10.1.
25211.4
. (a) On and after January 1, 2008, a person wishing to
operate as a certified appliance recycler, except a person having a
certification issued before January 1, 2008, until that certification
expires, shall submit an initial or a renewal application to the
department and obtain or renew certification from the department
pursuant to this section. The department shall make available on its
Internet Web site an application for certification as a certified
appliance recycler that requires all of the following:
(1) The business name under which the appliance recycler operates,
the telephone number, the physical address and mailing address, if
different, and the business owner's name, address, and telephone
number.
(2) A hazardous waste generator identification number issued by
the department pursuant to this chapter.
(3) A statement indicating that the applicant has either filed an
application for a stormwater permit or is not required to obtain a
stormwater permit.
(4) A statement indicating that the applicant has either filed a
hazardous materials business plan or is not required to file the
plan.
(5) The tax identification number assigned by the Franchise Tax
Board.
(6) A copy of a business license and any conditional use permits
issued by the appropriate city or county.
(7) A description of the ability of the applicant to properly
remove and manage all materials that require special handling,
including, but not limited to, a technical description of how each
material requiring special handling will be removed and a description
of how each material requiring special handling will be managed by
the applicant consistent with applicable laws.
(8) Any other information that the department may determine to be
necessary to carry out this article.
(b) A person wishing to operate as a certified appliance recycler
shall submit to the department, under penalty of perjury, the
information required pursuant to subdivision (a). The department
shall review the application for completeness and, upon determining
that the application is complete and meets the requirements of this
section, shall issue a numbered certificate to the applicant. The
department shall notify an applicant whose application fails to meet
the requirements for certification of the reason why the department
denied the certification. The department may revoke or suspend a
certification issued pursuant to this section, in accordance with the
procedures specified in Sections 25186.1 and 25186.2, for any of the
grounds specified in Section 25186.
(c) The certificate issued by the department shall include the
issuance date and the expiration date, which shall be three years
after the issuance date. A person whose certification has expired,
and who has not applied for and obtained a new current certification,
is no longer a certified appliance recycler and may no longer
operate as a certified appliance recycler.
(d) Upon issuance of a certificate, the department shall transmit
the application and certification of the certified appliance recycler
to the certified uniform program agency in whose jurisdiction the
person is located, which shall, as soon as is practicable, inspect
the certified appliance recycling facility to determine whether the
recycler is capable of properly removing and managing materials that
require special handling from major appliances. In making the
determination, the certified uniform program agency shall consider
various factors, including, but not limited to, the working condition
of equipment used to remove the materials, the technical ability of
employees of the business to operate the equipment proficiently, and
the facility's compliance with existing applicable laws.
